i don't believe that you can consider a conditional use for various uses that right now are not permitted under the code. section 121.2 provides in the north beach ncd, nonresidential use sizes of 4,000 feet and above are not permitted. i don't think you can consider a 4700 square foot thing until the law has been changed. section 7 80.3 is implicated, as is section 22 1.1. the bottom line here is that i believe as a matter of law, commissioners, respectfully you have the cart before the horse and you cannot adopt this matter until the law has changed in such a way that you can issue the conditional use. * thank you for considering my comments. >>> tough act to follow. commissioners, my name is richard hammond, long-time resident of north beach. and a couple of decades ago in my capacity as a concrete contractor and a foundation contractor, i dug a tunnel under bake man broadway for parking garage. you can see it when the garage doors open. i did another one down the street, another long tunnel, 30, 40 feet. i did one on larkin street. there is nothing exotic about the -- in construction

and other uses that need this kind of configuration to come to satisfy. and i know of another situation that's similar to this at the present time uop [speaker not understood] dental school is renovating a building that already has these broad plates on 5th street near mission. and i was a graduate of the earlier facility and i can speak to the difficulty that facility has in its present location because of the narrowness. so, it's not just tech, but other uses. it's important that we get broad floor plates. however, this has to be correct and i think the things they've done in terms of tower separation, bulk, are very much in keeping with the code. as was pointed out by mr. guy, because of the tdr sold by 6 20, 63 1 howard, there never will be another tower that they have to separate themselves from because even if that building were to be destroyed in a fire or some other manner, it could never be built to more of a height than it's at now because they've already sold their tdrs. and then the bulk, there are a number of ways that you can grant exception

i have your report on land use related items. this week at the land use committee they followed up on supervisor farrell's legislation for the subdivision code. this was following up on a hearing they had on february 28. since then the members of the board have engaged the public and stakeholder to potentially revise the proposal. one member of the public spoke on this and the item that garnered the most discussion was the western soma ordinances and this commission voted unanimously approval to the board and this commission made several changes and adjusted zoning to allow new night time uses and housing and this provision was kept by the land use committee. this commission also created a grandfathering provision on this 11th street corridor. this provision was removed this week by the board committee. supervisor kim's office is coordinating negotiations with the property owner and the entertainment committee to potentially change the product from a residential project with one with commercial and office houses. number three, th

specifically the departments are asked to report on the rationale for using this revenue for uses other than satisfying the transportation related needs on and around octavia boulevard as well as resolutions for meeting both the area's significant transit needs as well as affordable houseving needs. another hearing request by supervisor scott wiener and david chiu was introduced at the board requesting the mta, the department of public works, the planning department and the san francisco county transit authority to provide an update on the better market street project including schedule and progress on improving enter agency coordination and the proposal to construct the separated bike lane on mission street. * both hearings are tentatively scheduled for march 11, 2013. and that's pretty much all. if you have any questions, i'd be happy to answer. thanks. >> doesn't appear to be any questions. thank you. next item, please. >> board of appeals last night had a pretty lengthy hearing, a couple items that might be of interest to the commission would be a rehearing request for a letter of d
